West Grand Brass Band is 6 piece Brass Band from Oakland, California bringing jazz, funk, pop covers and originals to your event.
We hired West Grand Brass Band for a corporate event that was both a standard performance that then evolved into the group leading a parade. The crowd loved them. Their music is super fun and the guys were all great. Very easy to work with, up for anything. Would definitely recommend them.
Response from West Grand Brass Band:
Thank you for your review. We enjoyed working with you. Unfortunately you hired us through a different gig app so they are calling this "unverified". 😂

West Grand Brass Band (WGBB) is a group of 6 talented independent musicians that combines the Dixieland brass band tradition with modern musical genres and sounds. Their music takes the form of an ever changing mix of traditional songs, re-imagined covers, and genre-expanding originals. Based in the cultural hub of Oakland, California, WGBB prides itself in creating a party wherever they perform, from bars and breweries to weddings and parades.
WGBB was formed in the summer of 2015 after the founding members marched together in the Carnaval Parade in San Francisco's Mission District with a samba dance troupe called "The Hot Pink Feathers". They developed their sound while busking at Lake Merritt in Oakland, CA, and now perform at a wide variety of events and venues around the San Francisco Bay Area.
